Ongoing gaps in recalling daily events or personal information is not a symptom of major depressive disorder.

Obsessive compulsive disorder

Bulimia nervosa

Depression

Correct!

Wrong!

The answer is obsessive compulsive disorder.

OCD involves frequent fears, worries, urges, or thoughts (obsessions), which distract and distress the people who have them, and with ritualistic behaviors (compulsions) that are repeated in an intense attempt to deal with the unwanted obsessions. People with OCD may deal with obsessions, compulsions, or both.

GAD is when people's severe anxiety and worries exceed the real impact of the expected events. The constant worries disrupt daily function, making it hard to focus on tasks. The disorder often occurs with troubled sleeping, muscle aches and tension, and headaches.

Being in open spaces (parking lots, bridges)

Using public transportation (cars, trains, ships, planes)

Standing in a line or being in a crowd

All the above

The answer is all the above!

People with agoraphobia have intense fear or anxiety about real or expected problems that might occur in a wide range of places outside their homes, which can include enclosed spaces, open spaces, public transportation, or being in crowds or lines. They often change their daily lives to avoid being in these settings.

7.

Dissociative identity disorder used to be known as multiple personality disorder.

According to Psychology Today, DID was called multiple personality disorder until 1994. The name of the disorder was changed to represent a better understanding of the condition, which is that DID is more of a fragmentation of one's identity, than the development of several random, separate identities.

Schizophrenia is a brain disorder that can disturb normal thoughts, speech, and behavior. It tends to remain for life once it begins and causes problems with daily functioning.

Lethargy and apathy

Hallucinations

Delusions

Alcohol and other drug abuse

Correct!

Wrong!

Negative symptoms indicate what is absent in a person with schizophrenia — emotional expressiveness, desire for the company of other people, ability to feel or show pleasure, and spontaneity and initiative.

12.

Post-traumatic stress disorder is when people have a range of symptoms as a result of a trauma that involved real or threatened death, severe injury, or sexual assault (such as rape). These symptoms can be recurring nightmares that reflect the details and feelings during the trauma, flashbacks that cause the person to feel like the trauma is happening again, irritable or angry outbursts, and reckless or self-destructive behavior.

13.

Dry and yellowish skin

Thinning of the bones

High blood pressure

Growth of fine hair all over the body

Brain damage

High blood pressure is not a potential symptom of anorexia nervosa.

It's actually the opposite, low blood pressure, slowed breathing, and a slowed pulse are potential symptoms of anorexia. Other symptoms include dry and yellowish skin, thinning of the bones, growth of fine hair all over the body, brain damage, multiorgan failure, and feeling tired all the time.

14.

15.

Symptoms lasting at least one week (or less if person is hospitalized for symptoms)

Sudden change in appetite, with weight gain or weight loss

Increased risky behavior

Inflated self-esteem or grandiosity

Correct!

Wrong!

A sudden change in appetite, with weight gain or loss is not characteristic of a manic episode.

A manic episode is a distinct period lasting at least a week (or less if the person is hospitalized for the symptoms) in which a person is very happy and in high spirits, or irritable in an extreme way, nearly every day for most of the day. This can involve inflated self-esteem or grandiosity (believing they're better than others), needing less sleep, talking more than usual, and increased risky behavior (reckless driving, careless sex, spending sprees, etc.)

16.

With bipolar II, you don't use mood stabilizer medication as treatment.

With bipolar II, you don't experience episodes of mania.

Correct!

Wrong!

The answer is people with bipolar disorder II do not experience episodes of mania, and people with bipolar disorder I do.

People with bipolar disorder II experience at least one major depressive episode and at least one hypomanic episode — but no manic episodes. The difference between hypomanic and manic episodes is that while hypomanic episodes can still involve a noticeably inflated self-esteem and change in behavior, they won't be severe enough to get someone hospitalized or suffer extreme consequences (injury, jail time, getting fired, kicked out of school, etc.) like a manic episode would.

17.

Histrionic personality disorder

Narcissistic personality disorder

Schizoid personality disorder

Dependent personality disorder

Correct!

Wrong!

The answer is histrionic personality disorder.

People with histrionic personality disorder seek constant approval and use their looks, flirting, and other means to draw notice to themselves. They get trapped in the present, and consumed with getting what they want, at the exact moment that they want it. They may become depressed and upset when they aren't at the center of attention.

18.

Avoidant personality disorder

Narcissistic personality disorder

Paranoid personality disorder

Schizoid personality disorder

Correct!

Wrong!

The answer is schizoid personality disorder.

People with schizoid personality disorder seem to be extreme loners, which is what they seem to prefer. They lack a desire for close bonds with other people, are detached, and have a reduced range of feelings.

Lacks concern or care for the safety of self or others is not a characteristic of BPD.

Borderline personality disorder is marked by a pattern of ongoing instability in moods, behavior, self-image, and functioning. These experiences often result in impulsive actions and unstable relationships. A person with BPD may experience intense episodes of anger, depression, and anxiety that may last from only a few hours to days.
